Day Six

In the house there was old linoleum over the hardwood floors.  I got rid of it and swept up the dirt and other debris that had accumulated below.  I took out the extension cords that had run beneath the linoleum and scrubbed the Chinese paper emblems from off the walls.

The only thing I couldn't do anything about were the deer antlers and carved wild buffalo head which were nailed firmly to the living room walls.  

The kitchen was in need of new paint and a thorough cleaning.  I cleaned most of it, thinking to finish it by degrees, as there was too much else to be done.

In the kitchen window I hung wind chimes, and made the room as cheerful as I could.
